![]() In 1992, Stuart released "This One's Gonna Hurt You."The album eventually sold more than 500,000 units, Stuart's first gold disc. For rest of that week, Stuart says, "everybody was just talking about it, (us) working together. So, we just looked at each other, (saying) 'what's going on here?' The fans just dug it." When the two talked, Stuart says Tritt asked him to "just walk out and sing that verse you sing. ![]() "I just swung by the amphitheater real fast, to thank him appreciate recording one of my songs," Stuart says. Tritt already recorded the song, but the two hadn't seen each other since. Stuart happened to be in Music City above five years ago and knew Tritt was performing at Opryland. When I wrote the song, 'Whiskey,' he picked it up, and I thought 'all right.'" "I loved his voice, and I saw him on Johnny Carson. "He was one of the first people that I wondered if anybody I could play music with," Stuart says of Tritt. Stuart and Tritt have Johnny Carson to thank, in part, for their union. That's the kind of partner you like to have." Why? "I think there is a lot of similarity in our musical style and backgrounds," Stuart says. It's quickly clear that Stuart and Tritt click together well in concert. That was Stuart's "Marty Party Hit Pack." I didn't have an album out last year because of a greatest hits record." ![]() "We didn't have any new songs we worked out. "We just didn't have the music together," he said. ![]() Stuart, whose last album "Love and Luck" did not catapult to the fore of country, explained the five-year delay between tours. "After two or three, if it's not headed in the right direction, you're in trouble. "You can rehearse and rehearse and put it together on paper and work out the bugs you want to, but there is nothing like putting it in front of people," he said from a pit stop in Rapid City, S.D. To Stuart, the goods must to be delivered on stage. "We can really get back and hook it down." "I felt like it finally got a bit of semblance of order to it," he said after a hot show in Boston with each sitting in on the other's set and doing a set together. Just three dates into a tour that started in Pittsburgh, Stuart, 37, already expressed satisfaction with the results. Their first collaboration this year is the title track of Stuart's new disc, "Honky Tonkin's What I Do Best." A second will be "Double Trouble," out in late August on Tritt's forthcoming CD, "The Restless Kind." The following year, Stuart released "This One's Gonna Hurt You," with the title track being the second duet between the two buddies, someone Stuart refers to as "my brother."ĭue to a series of other commitments, the two were unable to get it together again until this year, though the plan always had been to record and tour together again. Stuart and Tritt scored big time with "The Whiskey Ain't Workin' Anymore," going to the top of the charts. At least, that's the name of his current year-long tour with cohort Travis Tritt.įour years ago, Tritt and Stuart went out on their very successful No Hats tour, eschewing the trademark tattoo of this decade's Hot Young Country musicians. This time, the Marty Party man is back, seeking Double Trouble.
